Item added to cart!

Need some inspo for your upcoming nursery? While you could go for classic color schemes like the gendered vibes of blue and pink or the monochrome grayscale aesthetic, these are all terribly outdated. Keep your baby's new room beautiful and current with these trending colors for nurseries in 2022. There's something for everyone here, so read on to find your favorite.

1. Very Peri

Pantone released it's Color of the Year for 2022 and this year's it's "Very Peri." This gorgeous periwinkle blue tows the line between blue and violet perfectly for a unique shade. Because of the violet undertones, this doesn't have the gendered vibes of a more traditional blue.

2. Vintage Orange

Nurseries are having a new take on orange in 2022. Rather than bright orange or blood orange of years past, this year it's all about vintage orange. This orange looks well-worn and aged like something from the '60s and '70s. A great accent is a rug featuring this color like in the nursery below.

3. Jewel Tones

Some parents are skipping the light beiges and delicate grays of the past and going for rich colors instead. Jewel tones feature deep shades of emerald, sapphire, and ruby. This is often best used in a nursery with a bold accent wall framing the crib.

4. Black

This isn't your grandmother's nursery. No one would have been caught dead painting their walls black for a nursery back in the 1900s, but this is 2022. Black can be chic and lovely. Black accents in the form of throw pillows, rugs, or walls go a long way to making the baby's room look super cool.

5. Pastel Green

If you aren't going for a jewel-tone green, then pastel green is the perfect alternative. In 2022, we're skipping out on the bright greens of the past. For pastel greens, go for shades that look muted and soft. A great way to incorporate the color is with patterns of greenery like leaves, grass, and ivy.

Nursery Paint Color Guide – Happiest Baby

By Jenny Studenroth Gerson

Note: While these nursery photos are gorgeous, please know that it’s NOT safe to place stuffed animals, pillows, bumpers, or any loose items inside your infant’s sleep space until Baby is a year old. —Dr. Harvey Karp

Designing a nursery is such a special part of planning for a baby on the way. So much of the aesthetic of the room rests on one central element—the wall color! While nursery wallpaper and other design details are having a moment, you just can’t beat a good old-fashioned can of paint. Whether you’re looking to create a serene scene, a monochrome haven, or pop of fun, there are so many nursery paint trends to explore.  

Gender-neutral nursery paint colors vary from true neutrals to more saturated hues. And some parents go all-in with blues or pinks for a nursery that really speaks to their style. Black-and-white nurseries are also popular, and lots of non-pastel colors are being considered for baby rooms these days. 

Basically, when it comes to setting up the nursery of your dreams, keep your little dreamer’s space as sweet, funky, or downright cool as you want! Here’s some inspiration to get you started. 

Neutral Nursery Paint Colors

Soft, understated, and gender-neutral, these adaptable colors create a warm and peaceful escape from the outside world. They serve a blank canvas for displaying all of the precious treasures that you’ve been collecting for Baby. There are myriad reasons to consider a neutral paint color on the nursery walls, and so many directions to take this idea…

Cream and ivory diverge just enough from stark white to soften out any harshness and give your baby’s room character and charm. Beige and taupe paints bring warmth and depth to the space and play nicely with décor that’s white, black, or in a complementary color (think crimson or olive). And for a bolder paint color, copper and deep gray are daring neutrals that lend themselves to a boho nursery vibe.

Black-and-white baby rooms are all the rage among contemporary parents. For starters, high contrast is revered for early eye development in infants. Plus, this combo creates an interesting, not-too-babyish scene that keeps the eye moving. You might consider bright white walls and black furniture, or a black accent wall. Painting stripes or another pattern in black-and-white monochrome is another fresh idea to consider.

Bold & Bright Nursery Paint Colors

Have fun with color! This is a baby’s room, after all; splashy and playful will totally work. If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to create a truly whimsical room with lots of bright color, your moment has come. Saturated periwinkle, fiery crimson, wild yellow or alluring coral are just some examples of trendy brights in recent years to get you inspired, but anything that speaks to you goes.

Pink and Purple Nursery Paint Colors

Get in touch with your girly side, because a little love on the way only means one thing to the pink- and purple-lovers: All other colors may kindly step aside. Brights are beautiful and neutrals are nice, but if you’ve been planning a baby girl nursery in your head since you were a little girl yourself, there’s no time to be wasted on anything but the most delightful traditionally feminine hues.

Ballet pinks, breathy whites with a hint of pink, sweet peaches, and kissed-pink near-neutrals are all divine understated pink selections. Candy pink, deep rose, saturated pastels, and French pinks are classy yet decidedly bold. And lavender, lilac, or anything in the purple family will add a less expected touch.

Blue and Green Nursery Paint Colors

Traditionally boyish colors can create many different vibes in the nursery; it all depends on the look you love. Whether you go soft and dreamy or deep and old-world, a baby room on this end of the paint color spectrum will be awash in joy.

Sky blue, dusty blues, or whites and grays with just a hint of blue are sweet, handsome, and effortlessly chic. Midnight, deep royal, or slate blues pack a punch and are bold enough to make a statement without being excessively bright or loud. Or you could think green with a host of nursery paint color options like mint, sage, or even turquoise!

Children's favorite colors and what they say about our children

Reading time: Don't have time to read?

Scientists know how a baby's vision develops, but so far they have not agreed on what colors a newborn is able to see and what colors are not. One thing is known: the baby's eyes are not too sensitive to bright colors, so he falls asleep so easily even in rooms with the lights on.

Over time, the baby learns to distinguish dark colors from light ones, and at the age of a few months he already recognizes the entire rainbow spectrum. The baby cannot yet distinguish between shades, so most rattles, teethers and other children's toys are made in simple bright colors. Moreover, it is the brightness that attracts children: studies have shown that the baby looks at green, red, blue and purple toys much longer than at brown and gray ones. nine0005

Even small children like a lot of bright colors. They prefer multi-colored toys to a one-colored toy.

Shade preferences also vary by gender. So, women distinguish color variations better than men, and tend to like reddish shades - directly red, pink, purple, lavender. Men are more likely to name blue tones as their favorite. However, some attribute this to marketing, which offers boys predominantly blue and light blue, and girls - pink and lavender. nine0005

A child's color preferences may change with age, and this is normal.

The science of color - how color helps to better understand a person's character

The German scientist and philosopher Johann Goethe has long studied how color affects a person's character. His ideas fell into fertile ground, so now we have color therapy and color diagnostics, which greatly facilitate the work of psychotherapists.

Looking at the color preferences of a child, you can tell a lot about his character and mood. What kind of pencils does he use? What is his favorite toy? nine0005

Children's favorite colors

1) Yellow is the most creative color. Children who like yellow tend to be daydreamers. They are romantics and storytellers, they are liberated, free, independent of orders and do not accept the framework that prevents them from creating. Powerful creative energy can make a child a center of attraction for all peers, or it can turn him into an object of ridicule for his "otherworldliness", excessive romance and fantasy. Growing up, such children become writers, musicians, artists, they strive to find interesting and unusual work. They are the main enemies of those who love order and everything around to be “as it should be”. nine0005

Like orange, yellow is very uplifting and, oddly enough, calms. Demi-season and winter outerwear in these shades is an easy way to add some color to gray everyday life.

2) Purple is the most mystical color. Usually little fans of purple are introverted and immersed in themselves, they are prone to mysticism, love mystery and mystery. They are always in doubt and contradiction, not sure if they made the right decision, afraid to start something new, endlessly engaged in self-reflection and questioning their actions. At the same time, these are people who have excellent intuition, who can look at themselves from the outside, and therefore are pleasant in communication. They are suggestible and vulnerable - they want to be protected from all the attacks of the outside world. They make excellent psychologists. nine0005

Violet comes from the fusion of two completely opposite colors: red and blue, hence all its mystery and mystery. Pretty calm, purple will easily calm down a capricious baby, so it will go as the main shade of baby overalls or even an envelope for a newborn.

3) Red is the most aggressive color. Red is the color of aggression, rage, strength, energy, health and life, and children in love with red behave as a combination of all these words. They are rebellious, it is impossible to force them to do anything. They have their own opinion on everything - and it is extremely difficult to convince them: instead, the child needs to be motivated and stimulated, encouraged, interested. With age, if hyperactivity is directed in the right direction, a tireless inventor, entrepreneur, traveler will grow out of a child, he will be able to achieve whatever he wants, thanks to assertiveness, ambition and healthy egoism. nine0005

Pure red is definitely a challenge, but the bright detail of this color in a child's outerwear will only emphasize the outfit without making it too aggressive. For example, an elegant bow, buttons, trim, trim around the hood. Red can also be the main color of a children's jacket, slightly muted with black or blue

4) Green is the most dynamic color. Green is liked by pragmatists, very hard-working and benefit-oriented people. Children who love this color are usually open, their intentions are clear and understandable. Vulnerability and resentment are combined in them with a lack of a long memory for insults - such kids quickly "leave" and forget about all the hardships. Perseverance, diligence, perseverance and even some stubbornness are combined in fans of green with the ability to have fun, optimism, sensuality and eternal youth. Usually "green" children have well-developed hearing and vision - they can be sent to an art or music school. nine0005

Greens are different, and depending on the shade, they affect a person in completely different ways. Bright will work almost like yellow - it will color the gray everyday life and give joy to others. Light green is calmer: a light green suit will suit hyperactive children who cannot sit still. But khaki is practically devoid of all the properties of green - usually it is associated with something bad, but a boy may well like it.

5) Blue is the calmest color. Colorists, psychotherapists and even kindergarten teachers call "blue" children the exact opposite of "red". Calmness and balance reign in the soul of such children, haste, zeal and fury are alien to them, they like to sit down, think carefully about the problem, and then make an informed decision. "Blue" children rarely become leaders, they are alien to the spirit of adventurism, but they are willingly accepted by their peers for their prudence and firmness of character. These children are introverted, but it does not bother them at all. With age, they become excellent specialists and excellent professionals, but in some specific, rather highly specialized area - most often “techies”. nine0005

Blue outerwear is the perfect choice for a fidget, because blue calms like no other, makes you more balanced, helps you make sound decisions. And blue, by the way, is the color of elevation - it has been proven that it helps in intellectual work. Why not opt ​​for a blue down jacket for a first grader?

6) Pink is the most delicate color. Pink may be considered "girly", but boys love it too. Usually kids who like pink are a bit passive, they are not pushy, they don't like to solve issues with aggression or force. They are excellent diplomats even at a young age - and their softness, tenderness and ability to smooth sharp corners make them a welcome part of any company. They lubricate the aggression of the "Reds", set off the coldness of the "Blues", prefer not to take a specific position, listening and accepting everyone. Pink lovers are typical contemplatives, far from adventurous. Mentally they are very sensitive, but the workshops hide any grievances. With age, they turn into skillful politicians and diplomats, masterfully capturing and harmonizing any tensions. nine0005

By the way, pink is not only a delicate or "piggy" color, it has many shades, from almost lilac magenta to baby skin tone. Magenta - active and energetic, a jacket of this color can be bought for a shy child. And gentle pastel colors perfectly soothe and are not imposed. An envelope for a baby or baby in pink is a great choice.

7) Brown is the most intelligent color. Usually children who like brown are non-conforming and contradictory. They strive to be useful, they like to socialize and be in the company, but they do not like to obey, they do not want to become “sixes”. They are very intelligent and erudite, they like to read, watch, constantly satisfy their hunger for information. Among their peers, they can get a reputation for being “very literate” and turn into an object of bullying. If parents manage to direct the positive qualities of such a child in the right direction, over time, an enterprising and enterprising person, concerned about the public good, a talented and brave activist, albeit a pragmatic, but impeccably honest worker, will grow out of him. nine0005

Brown makes the child more collected. It is not necessary to buy outerwear that will be completely brown: it is boring and the child is unlikely to like it, even if he is crazy about this color. But brown in combination with some bright color - yellow, for example - is already interesting.

8) Gray is the quietest color. Children who love gray are usually not demonstrative, do not like to stand out, they are not too enterprising and do not seek to take the place of a leader. Among colorists, gray is perceived as the absence of color, it is associated with isolation, isolation, release from obligations. At the same time, “gray” children are kind-hearted, prone to empathy, they will not refuse a request and will do everything to help; they are obedient, serious, love manual labor. "Greys" are altruists, they can help others even to the detriment of their own interests. With age, such a child will grow up a diligent and honest worker who can be relied upon. He will not have dizzying ambitions, but there will be adherence to principles, uncompromisingness and firm views. nine0005

Gray is a strict color, almost office. It can be nondescript, or it can be quite saturated: the luxurious tone of wet asphalt. If your child gravitates toward a classic style, children's outerwear in a noble gray tone will be a great solution.

​6 signs that your child is in command

In this article, consider the advice of psychologists on choosing colors for designing a children's room. What colors do you prefer?

As you know, human thinking is directly related to visual perception. nine0005

Psychologists advise to surround a child of the first two years of life with soft, calm and desaturated colors. When he grows up, the children's room, on the contrary, becomes the brightest, most cheerful and colorful room in the house.
Baby's room should be soft and cozy, in restrained colors. It can be a combination of warm shades of blue or blue in combination with pastel yellow, light beige colors. These colors create a sense of security and comfort.

Children's furniture painted in bright, contrasting color combinations can make a room cheerful and bright, while the walls, floor and ceiling can be calm, light shades.

In such an environment, the child will be able to fully play, study and relax.

According to psychologists, starting from the fourth year of life, a child begins to prefer contrasting, bright and joyful colors: yellow, blue, orange, red, hot pink. During this period, it is important to use bright colors in the interior design of the children's room, as such colors create a sunny and mobile atmosphere in the children's bedroom and playroom. nine0005

Too dark shades of colors are undesirable for decorating a child's room, because the closer to black the shade of any color is, the more depressing effect it has on the psyche and perception of a person.

Light and bright shades, on the contrary, evoke positive emotions. Scientists have found that a good, high spirits can also be created using the color of ivory - light with a golden hue, light beige, and the pale blue color of the walls normalizes blood pressure and improves the general condition. nine0005

Two-tone walls are an interesting solution. For example, combinations of light yellow and light blue colors, but not monophonic, but with small patches of a different shade of the same color: this dilutes the monotony of color, gives the room a picturesque look that is pleasing to the eye. The room will not turn out boring in this version.

It is important to choose the right shade of color. Usually, for a girl's room, parents choose colors in pinkish tones, for a boy's room - colder color combinations, shades of blue and blue. However, psychologists and interior decorators do not consider the data, the most common color combinations, to be a mandatory rule. There are many other shades that can be used when decorating a boy's and girl's room. One has only to show imagination and experiment. The main thing is that the colors match each other, then the children's room will turn out to be stylish, beautiful, comfortable and your child will like it. nine0005

Psychologists recommend solving the interior of a child's room in pure, delicate colors: pink, greenish-yellow, light blue, light green, light lilac. Pastel, light colors in the nursery will create harmony, help make a dark room more fun and comfortable, if there is not enough sunlight in the room, they will create a lively, cheerful atmosphere in it. You can make the nursery interesting and beautiful using a small number of colors, for example, in beige and light lilac or light blue, light green tones with the addition of brown shades. nine0005

Experts say that a light shade of purple is well suited for a school child's room, as this color gives a positive creative impulse and stimulates mental activity.

Pastel colors are preferred for newborns and toddlers. Delicate shades of pink and light blue reduce excitement, soothe and lull. Perhaps that is why these colors are so popular. nine0005

The walls of a child's room for a baby can be decorated with colorful bright details: flowers, butterflies, animals that develop the child's imagination, imagination and curiosity. You can hang light, bright, contrasting decorative elements and toys that attract the attention of the child from the ceiling. Focusing on them, the child calms down and is distracted.

Psychologists and designers do not recommend using many bright colors at the same time so that the room does not become clumsy and colorful. You should be especially careful with the use of intense red and orange shades, since their abundance can irritate the child, the child can quickly get tired of a large number of too bright colors. nine0005

The child's temperament and character is of great importance when choosing the main color for a child's room.

For example, in the design of a room for a small phlegmatic or melancholic person, you can use separate, small objects of bright red color that stand out with colored spots, or paste over the walls with soft pink or blue wallpaper. Such a background and bright red spots will moderately stimulate the activity of the child and increase his immunity.

Delicate shades of blue background will be appropriate in the room of a restless child - choleric or easily excitable, impulsive sanguine with an explosive temperament. It is also believed that all shades of blue have the ability to strengthen the child's body and stimulate its development. nine0005

But in a children's room with orange walls, curtains and a lot of colorful toys, it will be difficult for an active child to become quiet and obedient, finish the game on time and go to bed, because the abundance of bright orange and red tones has an exciting effect on the psyche.

Psychologists advise parents who choose the color scheme for the room of their beloved baby, be sure to find out his opinion: ask what color he likes himself, because color preferences reflect the emotional needs of a person.
